Endoscopic forehead lift

An endo­sco­pic fore­head lift is a mini­mal­ly inva­si­ve pro­ce­du­re in which the fore­head and eye­brows are rai­sed through a few small incis­i­ons in the hair-bea­ring scalp. Using a came­ra (endo­scope), the sur­ge­on works under direct visi­on wit­hout making a long incision.

Appli­ca­ti­on

The fore­head tis­sue is released from the bone, moved upwards and secu­red in place. At the same time, the mus­cles respon­si­ble for frown lines can be wea­k­en­ed. The tech­ni­que is sui­ted to dro­o­ping brows and a hea­vy fore­head in peo­p­le with a nor­mal hair­line height.

Good to know

The small scars lie within the hair and are usual­ly bare­ly visi­ble. Swel­ling gene­ral­ly sett­les after one to two weeks, and tem­po­ra­ry numb­ness of the scalp is pos­si­ble. With a very high fore­head, a hair­line tech­ni­que is often more sui­ta­ble. The endo­sco­pic fore­head lift is one form of brow lift.
